HC Oceláři Třinec erased a two-goal first-period deficit to beat HC Rytíři Kladno 6-4 in regulation. The home side scored five unanswered across the middle and third periods after trailing 1-3 at the first intermission.
Kladno struck early through Niko Ojamaki (7th, assist Tomas Tomek) and Adam Bares (9th, from Sebastian Redlich), and after Matej Kubiesa pulled one back in the 16th, Daniel Audette restored the three-goal cushion a minute later. Kubiesa's second in the 27th and Filip Pyrochta's goal in the 35th squared it at 3-3, and Daniel Kurovsky's unassisted strike in the 49th put Třinec ahead for the first time. Libor Hudáček made it 5-3 in the 52nd; Martin Rysavy's 58th-minute goal cut it to one before Daniel Vozenilek sealed it in the 59th.
Marko Dano was the connective tissue, assisting on three Třinec goals — Kubiesa's second, Hudáček's and Vozenilek's. Kubiesa's two-goal night was the difference in the scoring column, and the 2-0 second period was where the game turned.
